Jn previous articles in this Beries deal ing with national waste in government, which was estimated by the late Senator Aldrich several years ago at $300,000,000. and is now regarded by many-as having doubled or trebled, attention has been given mainly - to leaks and extrava gances in the doings and non-doings of the legislative branch. The fault for not finding a remedy lies heavily upon the lawmakers, for Pres ident Taft and President Wilson have each asked for relief, but it should not be assumed that corrections could not - be made . in the executive, or depart mental branch. Here the faults of the human element are encountered with the greatest force In the common abuses of bureaus overladen- with clerks, the law evaded by carrying employes upon the rolls at employments not shown to be author ised, tendencies to constantly expand and not- to save, continuation of waste ful practices, employment of clerks upon red tape formalities and statistical pro duction which interest no one. retention of persons who are not efficient, and profligate use of public money In penny wise tasks. !

As a result of the recent cam paign of The Journal, the city of Portland will contest the payment of exorbitant prices for property condemned by the municipality. The city council this morning referred five cases of condemned property in Marquam gulch to Commissioner Bigelow and the city attorney with instructions to appeal the decision of the condemnation jury. "I was under the impression that con demnation was the fair way for the city to secure property for . playground pur poses," Mayor Baker declared in op posing the issuance of warrants to cover the cost of the condemned tracts as fixed by the Jury. "Recent articles in The Journal called my attention to prices paid in the Marquam gulch transactions that appear to be high in several cases. SOME PRICES EXCESSIYE '"The council should proceed carefully in these matters and where the price set by the jury is deemed excessive we should either reject the property or ap peal the decision. The city attorney assured me that the Marquam Gulch prices were excessive in cases, although on the whole they were not greater than In other condemnation proceedings. But we must have the playgrounds and may be.lt would be better policy to pay a few extra dollars for them.

No other man at the head of the government, asserted Mr. Lewis, has "ever faced such an organized effort to deliberately misrepresent his official acts." The president, he further declared, will not alJow the conspiracy to suc ceed but will go direct to the American people with a full revelation of the truth. "Certain sections of one political party and offended individuals of an other party." Said Senator Lewis, "have joined common cause, to dishonor their own land and descredit their own countrymen by denying to their rep resentatives abroad any credit for suc cess, ani honor for achievements and all glory for the honor he has earned merely because he is .Woodrow Wilson or that he is a Democrat. "President Wilson will not allow this conspiracy to succeed. If there will arise a reason for President Wilson asking a third term that will be found In the demand the country will 'make on Wilson to remain in power to execute by his voice and hand the new work his mind has devised for man and -his heart conceived for the welfare - of America." Senator Lewis declared the west and the Pacific coast have been - educated to oppose the League of Nations and that the people have been frightened by assertions of ' power . In the league : to destroy American rights. . " He asserted that every charge that the covenant endangers American rights or policies has been disproved by the i document itself. , DOCK COMMISSION TO HEAR CHARGES Forum Provided for.

COMPLAINT MADE TO CITY COUNCIL Washington Street Merchants Assert Traffic Rules Aid, Morrison Street. Because Washington and Alder street merchants believe they are at a disad vantage over Morrison street under the terms of the present city traffic rules, a delegation of business men from the former streets waited upon the city council at Its session this morning with a protest. Autos may be parked on Morrison street for a 30 minute period.

The council took the matter , 'under consideration and .between the plan of reducing the law to permit parking on the objecting streets or eliminate park ing on Morrison street, is said to be inclined toward the latter proposal.
